Abstract

Working students felt the impact of the uncertainties brought by the pandemic and faced issues influenced by various factors such as time constraints, home-schooling, and limited workspaces at home. This descriptive phenomenological qualitative study focused on describing the experiences of social studies working students during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study was conducted among six (6) social studies working students determined through purposive sampling. The data were gathered using a duly-validated researcher-made questionnaire administered through online platforms such as messenger and e-mail. The accumulated data was then analyzed using conventional qualitative content analysis. Social studies working on students’ experiences of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic emerged to have three (3) major themes which are motivational experiences, roadblock experiences, and coping experiences, and six (6) major categories. The motivational experiences considered by social studies working students to pursue working while studying encompasses intrapersonal motivation and interpersonal motivation. Furthermore, during the course of their working-while-studying experience, they faced roadblock experiences such as challenges encountered and thoughts of discontinuing. In light of this, social studies working students had coping experiences namely coping with responsibilities and coping with feeling overwhelmed which helped them cope up with the demands of their duties. Delving into the experiences of social studies working students during the COVID-19 pandemic is critical in order to understand what they were going through. It is vital that these individuals' lived experiences be considered, knowing that they constitute an essential part of society.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic brought drastic changes in various institutions worldwide. It catalyzed the implementation of new-normal learning through alternative learning modalities. This descriptive phenomenological study aimed to explore the challenges and opportunities encountered by working students during the pandemic. Using criteria, the researchers have purposively chosen nine (9) working students from a public state university. A written interview questionnaire was utilized to gather data, which the researchers sent to the informants through the Messenger application. The informants were instructed to answer the question using Gibbs’ Reflective Model as a guide, where they needed to elaborate the description of their experience, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion, and action plan. The gathered data were analyzed using thematic data analysis. The results included themes such as themes (1) challenges perceived and (2) opportunities gained while working and studying. Further, the researchers generated six (6) categories from the analyzed data. It revealed that working students during the pandemic encounter challenges since they (1) recognize emotional and physical-self limitations and (2) experience lesser in-person connection and mobilization. Regardless, they gained opportunities (3) to develop character and skills, (4) in their finances, (5) to establish a positive outlook, and (6) to develop coping mechanisms. Thus, working students encounter obstacles in this new normal yet obtain benefits integral to their education and personal development.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a crucial role in our ever-evolving digital world. It benefits 21st-century citizens by offering a wide range of tools that drive technological advancements across various fields, including medicine, science, and, most importantly, the educational landscape. The integration of AI in education supports practice teachers by enabling innovative teaching practices, personalized learning experiences, and data-driven decision-making. Accordingly, this study explored the integration of artificial intelligence into the lesson demonstrations of practice teachers. It is anchored in George Siemens’ Connectivism Theory, which posits that knowledge is distributed across networks and that learning occurs through connections between people, ideas, and resources. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study identified five major themes and fourteen subthemes. Findings conclude that AI serves as a transformative tool that enhances instructional design, classroom engagement, and teacher confidence when thoughtfully integrated into lesson demonstrations. It is recommended that future research involve a larger and more diverse sample and explore broader dimensions of AI in education to deepen understanding and support effective implementation.
